The u. e. Conference.


the West Wisconsin Conference of tn,
Methodist Episcopal church closed il
this city on Monday afternoon, Octo
Der Sd, 1887. The business meeting'
and the public services were largely
attended, and the general proceeding:
of the conference were interesting not
only to the members themselves, but
also to the general public.
Saturday was one of the most i'm
portant days of the session. The cleo
ton of delegates to the general con-
ference took place this forenoon, re-
sulting in the election of E. J.. Eaton,
of the Madison district, and B. E.
Wheeler, of the Platteville district. on
the first ballot, and Rev. W. J. Mckay,
of Madison, on the fourth ballot. Rev.
John Tresidder, of Eau Claire, and
M. b. Balch, of Lacrosse, were elected
as reserves. A class of twelve was
admitted on trial, and three or four
rejected mainly on account of age and
literary qualific ations.
An afternoon session was held, with
James Lawson in the chair. Reports
from the various committees were pre-
sented and acted upon, among them
the temperance report.
The report was read and then taken
up by sections and acted upon, and
then, with notifications was passed
as whole, by unanimous vote. The
preamble goes on to call the saloon the
source of misery, and as destructive
to the morals of community, and the
resolutions to work against the evil
of license in any and all forms. The
work of the w. C.. T. L. is commended
and sympathy and cooperation prom
ised them in their efforts, and especially
in the White Cross movement, and the
literature of the same is promised help
in its distribution. An effort to place
the latter in the Sunday schools called
forth vigorous protest, and it was
stricken from the report. The use of
tobacco was condemned, and the rails
ing of it looked upon as moral
crime. IL this part of the report no
one in the church escaped, for the
elders, officials and bishops were all
thrust at An amendment was sub
mitted asking the bishop not to ap-
point any man presiding elder who
used the weed. The bishop and pre-
siding elders were not present when
this was submitted No allusion was
made to the third party in any way.
DR.. Grey, representing the Freed
mans Aid society, made an address
on Saturday night.
On Sunday Bishop c. H. Fowler
preached at the NJ. f. church, and the
congregation was SO large that many
were unable to secure even standing
room in the large edifice.
The general business of the session
was finished by three o'clock on Mon
day afternoon, when Bishop Fowler
arose to address the members and lay
men present, and announce the APP
pointments for the ensuing year. He
spoke words of instruction and admo-
milton, and made many practical sug-
gestions. He had profound attention
from the audience, all of whom We're
doubtless greatly benefited by the
words of wisdom which he uttered.
The appointments for this district are
as follows:
